Aziza Chaouni: How I brought a river, and my city, back to life

The Fez River Rehabilitation Project aims to restore the Fez River in Morocco, which has suffered from pollution and urban stress. The project involves uncovering the river, treating its water, and transforming urban voids into public spaces.
